see https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/ignoring-files#configuring-ignored-files-for-all-repositories-on-your-computer
for various strategies

We can add it to "~/.config/git/ignore" as it will ignore globally on windows which we don't want. Also we don't have ".git/info/exclude" in PG project's so the best place left is projects's .gitignore. That's what was patched. 

 

eh? git creates .git/info/exclude in every git repository AFAIK. And it's referred to here: <https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore>

Yes, git creates .git/info/exclude but point is, it is not in PG maintained codebase repo. So, no point adding to it. 

BTW, Tom and Peter said it's not going to be added anyway!

 

You've completely missed my point, which is that *you* should be adding it to that file, as an alternative to using a (locally) global gitignore file.

I agree with Tom and Peter.

cheers
